What are things to look at be for shooting a old gun and does a iver Johnson .38 have a firing pin

I notice they were still using the old thumb-ejection method. Over all, a good presentation of a smooth technique. "...reload your revolver in five seconds or less."

So, I know Magnum Research makes their fine single-actions in .30/30 WCF. Whilst snooping around Gunbroker, I've found one for a very reasonable rate. It would be an interesting, if not a little gonzo, companion to my leverguns in said chambering. I am, however, concerned about how nasty this...

While practicing dry firing (Super Redhawk 7.5"), I've gotten in the habit of tucking my trigger finger behind the trigger between shots instead of extending it above or on the outside of the trigger guard. I imagine it would look weird if I were to do this at the range, especially for people...

Hi all, I carry a S&W 642 as my always gun, strong side pocket in a Desantis Nemesis. I love the J-frame for its ergonomics and concealability, as well as its quick deployment. In the winter, I'll occasionally throw the 642 in the inside pocket of my leather jacket. However, the other day I...

I'm searching for the "perfect" carry revolver and I'm looking for some suggestions. I want something with acceptable sights, I don't really care for the "post and gutter" style ones. Right now I'm thinking something like the Ruger SP101 with a 2.25" barrel. I would probably get something like...

I keep thinking I want a revolver for concealed carry (even though I have perfectly good 9mms that work fine...) and was looking for ideas. Holster suggestions are great as well, pictures are always welcoe. I carry inside the waistband but pocket carry would probably be considered as well. Ilk...

I've thought about buying a snub nose revolver to carry and was just curious what you guys thought of .357 mag vs a 38 special +P for self defense. I've looked at the Taurus model 85 and the Taurus model 605. Thanks for any input.

I go to a laid back amateur competion and use my Ruger GP100. The amount of rounds sometimes changes depending on their setup for each match. I have to carry 75 rounds for this up coming event. Sometimes you have to walk on a wooded trail. So throwing my speed loaders on the ground is not an...

I'm wondering if it's possible to find aftermarket hammers for S&W and Ruger DA revolvers that imitate the size and shape of the Colt single action army hammer. I find this style to be more ergonomic and fumble-proof. Anyone know of such a thing?

So I have a new TRR8, which I'm super excited about (especially after dry practicing with a moon clip full of 38 Short Colt and finding that the chambers basically act like magnets). I was about to mount the optics rail to fiddle around with it when I realized that I was putting steel on...

Hey guys, Im new to fourms but bare with me. Im new to BP but have always been interested in it. I went muzzleoading hunting for whitetail and got hooked. In August I bought a 51 Pietta Navy 44 cal from one of those Redy Packs offered from.Traditions. Over corse of 2-3 days I shot 4 or 5 rounds...

I was wondering if anyone had any real experience shooting a brass framed BP revolver? Do they last as long as steel if loaded light most of the time? Do they wear out easy? These are a couple things I have heard about brass framed revolvers. I know there are people here who know a lot more...

Hey there THR! Some of you may remember the first time I took a Single Action Army to a USPSA Style Fun match... If you don't remember, you can check that thread out here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=781494 And the thread I started in preparation for the challenge...

Last summer I took up in earnest my quest for a moon clip revolver for general shooting and maybe some slightly-competitive action shooting. I started this thread asking about 9mm and 45 ACP revolvers, with my main condition being that I didn't want a stainless steel finish. Settled on the S&W...

I'm trying to find out when my S&W H&R Model 733 was made. It says, Worc. Mass. It's a nice little nickle plated revolver (double action, 6-shooter) with a 2" barrel. Thanks!

I recently discovered that Remington had made a .36 caliber revolver that was a lot like the .31 caliber pocket revolver. My question is were any of these at any point in the last few decades ever made by Uberti, Pietta, or other replica manufacturers?

So while fantasizing about owning a S&W 325 Thunder Ranch over here in this thread I got to thinking of how I might use (or not) the light rail. Has anyone put one of the rail adapters intended for semi-autos on a 325 or any of the other rare breed of revolvers that have an under-barrel...

So I got a Webley Mk IV (.38 S&W) a few weeks ago and I've put several hundred rounds through it now. I quickly learned some things I didn't fully expect before getting my hands on it. #4 represents the main question for this thread: (1) The thing is built so well! Tolerances are tight...

Many of you have put your input on my "Tips for running a SAA Clone in a Match" and I really appreciate it. If you missed out, that thread is at: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=781153 So I ran the match! It was very fun and educational. I got a lot of props for bringing a cowboy...
